Marooned

Rating: 1/10 (3 February 2020)

Like all contentious themes, the theme of this movie is ever old but also ever new. The story-line or script of this movie read like the pages of the medical horror novels by Robin Cook , of the couple that I have read, Fever and perhaps more appropriately Coma or even mindbend. But apart from the chill and the fright it causes, Is there a valid point this movie is trying to make, and is there a relevant message this movie is trying to communicate and to convey, and is there a real warning this movie is trying to sound or is it raising a false alarm ?
Pardon my biblical references, but I cannot restrain myself. In scientific circles the genetic make up or the biological signature of an individual is referred to as his DNA. No doubt in this genetic characterization or genetic code as one might prefer to call it, some basic and fundamental characteristics of an individual's genetic make up would be fixed, constant, non-changing and, eternal which would be its smallest component but also its most central and its most critical and its most vital component, which part I would liken after Jesus's resurrection to be the indestructible seed of Christ sanctified and sealed by the holy spirit sown in the heart of every individual.Unfortunately this might also be the hidden or the invisible or the indecipherable part of the individual's genetic make up, for obvious reasons. The rest of the DNA would be the part which serves as the soil for this seed, in other words it would be the part which changes over time, but then the question is how is this transformation or change caused and effected ? Are the character traits manifest and displayed by an individual the result of his DNA, or is the DNA of an individual a characterization and a representation of not just the inherited character traits, but also the acquired as well as the developed and ingrown character traits, be they natural or un-natural as a result of the choices made by the individual himself. This latter point of view, which is the more accurate clearly allows for the existence of free-will and makes moral choice an integral part of the genetic make up of an individual and grants each and every individual total and absolute freedom and control to as they say grow and to develop his own character traits or so to speak to make and to form his own DNA, because choice is always the most crucial factor.Most certainly, it will not be true that the DNA of an individual is what makes that individual, rather the other way around, what an individual has chosen to make of himself is what makes his DNA. A direct consequence of this fact is that artificially and forcefully changing and altering the genetic make up or DNA of an individual may not necessarily bring about the desired change in the character traits of that individual, and even if it does; the change will not be a lasting and a permanent one. For instance if for whatever reasons valid or invalid, an individual unfortunately happens to be an alcoholic and a drug addict thereby given to and prey to all forms of intoxication, no amount of complete blood transfusions or going a step even further no amount of complete, heart, kidney, liver, lung , and every other organ transplants, of the unhealthy individual with those of another healthy individual including those of Jesus himself can change the person and transform the person into a non-addict for good, unless the individual willingly, lovingly and voluntarily, well and truly desires to change and transform himself by choosing to be good soil for the seed of Christ already sown in that person.
